Bethrezen Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) hithe version of this patch that is contained in Service Pack 2.1a is that's the one causing problemsI extracted the files from the service pack and have them here the version numbers & creation dates on them arecreated 04 October 2005modified 04 October 2005accessed 11 January 2006Kb891711.exe 4.10.2224 MD5: 611bb94c570d601894d96ca309acc08aQ891711.dll 4.10.2223 MD5: f744fde2011add7978a840f73fa8348bbefore you say it no I have never had the official kb 891711 Microsoft version installed because its faultysesp21 contains uninstall option for KB891711 fix in Add/Remove programs.I know but I shouldn't have to keep logging in to safe mode to remove faulty components after sp update I should just be able to opt out of installing it in the first placeand while I'm on the subject of Add/Remove programs the uninstall link for KB891711 that the Service Pack places in the add and remove is faulty to the only way I found to uninstall this was to open the KB891711 folder and right click on the .inf file and click the uninstall optionand while I'm on the subject of faulty uninstall links in the add and remove panel did the faulty uninstall link for tweak ui that I reported some time ago ever get fixed ?

MDGx Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 You are probably refering to the older U891711 patch files, that were included with Gape's SP2 2.1a.Please try the new ones:http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780Gape knows about the new versions, and will probably include the new ones in the next SP2 release.Please post your comments/feedback about U891711 patch in this forum:http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780Hope this helps.

erpdude8 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 nah dont bother. it's now safe to use U891711 (instead of MS's KB891711) as it did not cause any problems on any of my Win98/ME machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
